A Lowestoft man's been sentenced to 12 years in prison for causing the death of a woman by dangerous driving, following a crash in Norfolk.
44 year old Marcin Jablonski, of Carlton Colville, previously admitted causing the death of 28-year-old Aisatou Mballow-Baldeh, after he crashed a stolen Land Rover into her car while being pursued by police in August last year.
A police helicopter had been monitoring the Land Rover, which had been reported stolen in Suffolk.
In a bid to lose police following him, Jablonski drove into a crop field, leaving a trail through the plants and causing £6000 worth of damage, before driving back on to the A143 at Earsham, where the crash happened on 13th August. .
Aisatou, of Lowestoft, was pronounced dead at the scene.
"Best friend and my soul mate"
In an earlier tribute released through police, Mrs Baldeh's husband Bocar said his wife was his "best friend, and my soul mate":
"We had so many plans for our future together that now, we will not be able to fulfil, and this is something I'm still struggling to come to terms with," he said.
"Aisa will be missed by so many people.
"Our families, friends and I will forever keep her in our hearts and remember the beautiful and vibrant person we love and cherish."
